Our meetings for March, April and May had to be cancelled due to the Coronavirus emergency lockdown, as was a planned fund-raising Coffee Morning. As April’s meeting would have been the AGM we held this online. All the paperwork was distributed by email. We hope that we can carry out a proper “handover” to our new President’s soon. In the meantime, the club members have agreed a £100 donation to the local food bank http://www.influencechurch.co.uk/storehouse/ to help during the current emergency. Members are also making personal donations in cash and goods.
We have also sent out £500 accumulated to the end of March from last year’s fundraising to our sister club in Harare, Zimbabwe. Conditions there are dire due to drought, corruption and now a lockdown, so our sister members have many calls on their help. News from our contact is so bad that members are also making personal donations to send out in June.
